Taxes & licensing in Maryland

Sales tax on the repair: Repair labor is generally not taxed here (parts still are). Appliance-repair LABOR is NOT subject to Maryland sales and use tax. (official tax source)
Who is licensed to do the work: There is NO Maryland state license titled "appliance repair technician." Requirements depend on the appliance/work type: (1) FEDERAL EPA SECTION 608 (Clean Air Act, 40 CFR Part 82 Subpart F): any technician who maintains, services, repairs, or disposes of appliances containing regulated refrigerant (refrigerators, freezers, AC units, heat pumps) MUST hold EPA 608 certification.

How we price this for Baltimore

We take each national base range and multiply it by Baltimore's local index of 1.03:

local range = national base × 1.03

The index blends the metro's wage relativity (Baltimore metro wages for appliance technicians (BLS OEWS occupation 49-9031)) with the BEA Regional Price Parity for Baltimore, held to a sane band. Parts ship at national prices, so only the labor and overhead share moves with the metro. These localized estimates are cross-checked against 3 locally published service fees in the observed stat above — figures we show verbatim, never run through the index. The full method and source vintages are on the methodology page.
